Curious what you're using. Ms office kinda sucked but LibreOffice works incredibly well, and Adobe products last I tried (years ago) sucked. But gimp and DaVinci resolve work great. Most of my games run absolutely fine. For everything else you just need a web browser and those have worked great always.

Yeah office products and vide editors have Linux alternatives, but to me the main offenders are Native Instruments Maschine (proprietary USB controller that doesn't work in Linux + software that doesn't work in Linux) and DTP software like Affinity Publisher or Adobe Indesign that have no Linux equivalent.

I'm lookin into running those things in a Windows KVM in Linux though but it's quite the project.
